This needs to be engraved in stone somewhere to be saved forever, I almost peed my pants laughing.

Good to see the mayor up and around, enjoying a new lease on life. First order of business went quite well I think, he's mellowed...

Got a call from Mark, late, he was reading this and could barely talk from laughing, I read it again, and when finished needed a swig of cough syrup to get better from sputtering and laughing.
Then I went over to the thread on application fluid and as I read pages 1 and 2 I saw the basis for what Gavin wrote with new eyes, and read it with the humor underlying the words in a way I would not have seen before.
By the time I got further and to page 3 I was all but in angry tears. What unsavory and uninteresting interactions it turned into over nothing that was offensive in word or intent. Shades of last year, same subject, slightly different angle, and another mauling. We can do better.
Go Gavin - you made lemonade out of it for sure.

no mention of the requisite comedy relief that some tried to insert, or the '60's love & peace' concept of my silly, foolishly objective attempt as a peace-maker . . .
But, I prefer to live in denial and take this slight over-sight as a compliment ...ok?
PS...Are me and Jill the only one's who are impressed that Z hit 'enter' often??

THAT was hilarious reading!! Maybe we should have open mike for the comics at the next letterhead convention. There can be some great humor on this board some days. I was most impressed with the almost paragraph format! You are right, 'enter' IS a good thing, Sheila. He needs praise!

So Gavin CAN separate paragraphs and make his stuff readable!! No excuse for not using paragraphs now that we know you can find the enter button.
Thanks to Doug Allan for posting what it would usually look like!!
Yes - it was funny. And it has been "said" many times, many ways before. Usually without the sarcasm. But which 'character' was Gavin? I didn't recognize him.

I'm in shock. I miss a few weeks reading hte board and someone has taken over Gavin's personality, or rather edited his typing skills before it got posted. It was so funny, I ALMOST PEED IN MY PANTS! See what can happen when you use the space bar, comma's, periods, and other grammatical stuff? Damn funny! Let me go change now. I'm not sure I want to read the other post mentioned, I'll just reread this one!!!

OMG, that brought me to tears and convulsive laughing again!!! Yeah, I gotta save this to my hard drive too before the Mayor finds out it's back. This is *professional* grade humor, I don't care who you are. Larry the Cable guy, be afraid; be very afraid.
